Engineering Director @helium_mobile/@helium. Letting an AI run marketing for my side project.

[Andrew Allen @allenan_]

Just hired a marketing manager for an app I built last year but haven’t had the bandwidth to scale. $16 MRR.

Got him onboarded this weekend. 30-60-90 day plan. Keys to Twitter, Reddit, and a dedicated Gmail inbox.

$500/mo budget to do whatever he wants with.

His name is Miles and he lives in an old mini PC.

Let's see what happens.

[Alex Finn @AlexFinn]

Just hired my first employee today. The best part is he works 24/7/365. Welcome Clawd.

why is gpt-4o pushing Notion so hard all of a sudden? it's like every other message ends with "Want me to turn this into a Notion template for you?". no, I would rather you not.

@rauchg @v0 granular af - check out https://t.co/MXJ2aomMy1, v0 for finding domain names

[Andrew Allen @allenan_]

how do you find good names & domains for your vibe-coded projects? I got tired of jumping between ChatGPT and domain registrar sites. so I imagined what a v0 for finding domains might look like and let cursor + sonnet 3.7 cook for a weekend.

@iamdevloper It’s ok; we’re simply mortgaging our tech debt for a smarter model to refactor later

Cursor is to 1000 person engineering teams what CAD was to architect studios

Cursor is to 1000 person engineering teams what CAD was to architect studios

[Cursor @cursor_ai]

We've raised $105m in Series B funding from Thrive, Andreessen Horowitz, Benchmark, and existing investors.

We're delighted to report that Cursor is now used by millions of engineers as their editor of choice. Our tailor-made models generate more code than almost any LLMs in the world.

We're working to automate code using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering. The Cursor of today is the very start.

This is what usage on the helium network looks like, and the kinds of applications it enables

Wetland monitoring sensor installations at Lake St. Clair Metroparks using IoT sensors. Cold yet fulfilling. Shout out to @EddieGreatLakes and folks at @waynestate and Metroparks staff for generous support. @MIMetroparks @helium #IoT

Wow, there’s an actual use for blockchain? Helium can democratize internet connectivity https://t.co/ry2NzoLdUc

[Chris Dixon @cdixon]

Helium uses the power of token incentives to bootstrap the supply side. It’s worked well so far. The network has over 200,000 nodes worldwide. Here’s a coverage map of the US and another zoomed into the Bay Area. (Here’s the full network explorer https://t.co/JtDRUcRABe)

@alexisohanian @Reddit any relation on the @helium one? 🙃
